Hello, beauties! Just kinda looking for some reassurance. I got my first IUI on Monday, and since then I've been taking progesterone twice a day vaginally. It is making me SO exhausted, and now just today I've been feeling really down and kinda weepy. I still have to take these until I go back in for a pregnancy test on the 21st. That's such a long time!! Anyone else gone through this before? Normally, i deal with this through exercise, but I'm just so exhausted and I'm supposed to shy away from aerobics.

ALSO- are baths bad at this point?? I've been reading a lot of mixed reviews.

I found I was very emotional with the progesterone. I also got really constipated and upset tummy. A few hot flushes . You just have to go with it. I didn't have a bath for 2 weeks after my implant . I am now 15 weeks pregnant. God luck. Xxx

Hi. I also did IUI and progesterone suppositories. I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant. Good luck. I am completely tired all the time. But this pregnancy is a long time coming (11 years) so I am enjoying every minute of it.

I also had IUI, and I was put on progesterone but it was in the form of an oil and I inject it every day, I have been taking it since the day after my embryo transfer, I thought I was only going to take it for the 2WW, lol.... but that's not the case I conceived on my first cycle, and my doctor said I have to take it until I'm 10 weeks pregnant, I get the worst hot flashes and I am very emotional but I'm not sure if it's because of the progesterone shots or because of the pregnancy, Good Luck

I've been taking progesterone twice daily, and I'm just tired, no hot flashes or emotional issues. Today 5dpiui I've been having some mild cramps, but don't know if I should see it as a good thing or bad?:/

Hi!! i have also PCOS. My doctor diagnosed from last 2 months...my periods were natural and regular before..but last time i got periods by taking progesterone 2tablets at bedtime as recommended by doctor and this time too i am waiting for periods after taking progest..My husband has no sperm so i am moving with IUI treatment...My doctor recommended me to take progesterone, Iron, Vitamin D and prenatal tablets..Is there any such kind of case as am just worried about that how long it would take me to conceive a baby...i want it badly..i am 29 years old now.its my doctor appointment on feb 12..any idea when doctor will recommend me to start IUI and how long it will take to be successThanks
